Book Fair

Last Monday we started the book fair and there was lots of  different books for different aged people. We had a target it was to reach up to £4oo to get free books for the school, but Mrs MacDonald said that we nearly reached our target we raised £378. 81. Yesterday and today we had the stationary box, that is when you get things out the box like pencils, rubbers, sharpens and rulers. So this Friday we will know how much we raised by Mrs MacDonald. There is lots of fun books to read at the book fair.

The different projects in our class are Cooking food from around the world, Japan, Sewing a quilt, Survival skills, Chicken farm, Celebration cakes, Volcanoes, Beauty therapy, Horse riding instructor, Writing a book, Climate change, Growing Vegetables, Puppets, Video games, Fitness and diet, Traditional singing and Exploration survival.

Everyday you have to fill out  record sheet to record everything you’ve done and everything you need to do.

World of Work Day

On Thursday 31st of October P4/5 and P6/7 had a fun afternoon because  P4/5 had been learning about jobs and what skills you need for certain jobs. We buddied up with the Primary fours and fives and we went down to the hall where we met lots of different people and they all had different jobs. We all asked different questions, I was buddied up with Ronan and our question was, what skills do you need for this job? Afterwards we went up to the cafeteria for a little cake!

Mums and Dads visit P1/2

It was great to see such a great turnout of mums and dads to P1/2 to see the children’s completed houses.  The children were very proud to show off their finished work and parents had a chance to share in their learning journey through the floorbook.  I think everyone had a great time building with blocks and Lego!

Building almost complete in P1/2

As part of their Houses and Homes topic, children in P1/2 have been working hard to build their own houses, complete with hinged doors!  They have even learned that roofs are actually triangular prisms! They are using Plan, Do, Review to help them complete their houses.  Hopefully we will invite mums and dads in to see the completed houses soon.

Camping in P1/2

As part of a topic on houses and homes, P1/2 have been learning all about materials. Thinking about the story of the Three Little Pigs, they first checked to check the strength of straw, sticks and bricks as building materials. Then then heard that the three little pigs had gone on a camping trip and had used lots of different materials as coats and tents….and it had started to rain. They tested out different materials to see what was the most waterproof. They were very impressed with balloon material!! Then they worked together to put up a tent in the classroom (although the tent is waterproof, the very strong winds meant that they did not put it up outside!)

My Music Exam

On Monday 28th October I will have a music exam.  A music exam is to test our ability to play an instrument.  This is my first grade music exam. I play a French Horn. I am very scared about it.  You would play 3 songs and our scales then you have an oral test.
